I'm joining forces with fellow Swimfitters at Woking Pool in the Park to take on the 5k challenge on Sunday 29th April 2018.

Recently back to swimming my intent is to get Swim Fit now that I am Aqua Fit. I plan to take on this challenge and improve on my time to do 1k (a mile if my team lets me :) should the team need someone to swim further. 

I also do this because we sadly lost an aunt Lorraine, my fathers only sister to Cancer many years ago. Whilst another treasured member of our family, my second cousin Pamela is thankfully in remission, after fighting the disease for many years - someone who I am immensely proud of, for both her strength and love of life :)

Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie are teaming up and heading down to the pool for Swimathon 2018 – thousands of swimmers, two great causes, one big charity challenge.

Cancer Research UK, the world’s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research, will be involved in Swimathon for the first time. 

Marie Curie, the UK’s leading charity for people with any terminal illness and their families, has been Swimathon's charity partner ten times since it launched in 1986 and has raised over £17 million for the charity through the event during that time. 

By taking part in the world’s biggest fundraising swimming event you will be fundraising for two incredible causes.

A challenge for everyone. A #SwimForAll
